Static electricity

Question 1

What is static electricity?

Answer 1

a stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, which causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.

Question 2

What is electrical charges?

Answer 2

Each proton carries a positive charge and each
electron carries a negative charge. Protons are held tightly in
an atom’s nucleus, but the electrons can be transferred from
one atom to another. Negatively charged bodies have a
surplus of electrons (more electrons than protons) and
positively charged bodies have an electron deficiency (less
electrons than protons).

Question 3

What are electrical field lines?

Answer 3

way of visualising electric fields.

Question 4

Do opposites attract or repel?

Answer 4

They attract.

Question 5

Do electrically charged objects Remain charged?

Answer 5

No

Question 6

(est) What is coulombs law?

Answer 6

a law stating that like charges repel and opposite charges attract, with a force proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Question 7

(est) what is the formula for coulombs law?

Answer 7

F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}
